[muted patio]

But rated at 320W without overclocking

[blazing aurora]

yoshi gang

[wanton cliff]

I don’t really overclock

[blazing aurora]

nvidia gpus are known for power spikes right

infrequent power spikes**

[wanton cliff]

So yeah a normal 650w would be good I think

[muted patio]

Just the 3080 in particular

[wanton cliff]

Ampere specifically

[muted patio]

It's extra bad this time around

[wanton cliff]

Hope Hopper is better

Assuming those are normal desktop GPUs and not Teslas or Quadros or whatever

[clever jetty]

guys for what pc parts i need to download drivers like gpu Motherboard and ? and any good apps that you guys recommend me ?

[wanton cliff]

Armoury crate allows you to download a bunch of stuff real quick

As for drivers

GPU needs drivers

And mobo might need audio drivers

[clever jetty]

thxx

[wanton cliff]

Also 7zip is a must have

Always have 7zip installed on your computer

[stoic island]

7zip op

[muted patio]

Armoury Crate

Pls no

[wanton cliff]

Better than WinRAR

[muted patio]

I've run into so many issues with that pile of garbage

[wanton cliff]

No armoury crate then

[stoic island]

just don't do mobo software packages

all of em are bad

[muted patio]

Yes

[stoic island]

drivers you can do one by one

[muted patio]

I mean, I know it's Kenzie but Armoury was literally killing her GPU driver

[wanton cliff]

Most people I’ve talked to like armoury crate

[muted patio]

So I fixed that

two days later, something else broke XD

[wanton cliff]

Poor Kenzie

[muted patio]

It did something to my machine too but I can't remember what

Something to do with sound I think

[wanton cliff]

This server’s biggest meme is Kenzie

[muted patio]

Uninstalling it fixed the issue

[wanton cliff]

One thing tho

7zip is better than WinRAR

[muted patio]

Of course

[wanton cliff]

And anyone that wants to argue

[muted patio]

WinRAR is poo

[wanton cliff]

Fight me

WinRAR is [EXPLETIVE DELETED]

[verbal quarry]

What you guys talking about?

[wanton cliff]

How 7zip is much better than WinRAR without actually backing up our arguments

Just telling people to fight us if we disagree

[cursive wharf]

7zip make smaller files

.7z is nice

or whatever the file name is

[wanton cliff]

You mean .zip?

[verbal quarry]

Oh ok I understand now

[muted patio]

no, .7z

[sullen spoke]

ye .7z

[muted patio]

their format

[stoic island]

.7z I think it is

[sullen spoke]

winrar is annoying

[wanton cliff]

Didn’t know 7zip had their own format

I don’t usually zip files up

[cursive wharf]

I first was thinking zip

then remember 7z

[fossil halo]

yo guys

i think theres something wrong

so like my pc kinda just freezes randomly

it happened twice today

i ran two malwarebytes scans and nothing showe dup

could it be a hardware issue?

like my microsoft edge just freezes

i can close it and stuff

but then my lively wallpaper also freezes

[wanton cliff]

Ew malwarebytes

[fossil halo]

and i cant restart from the start menu i have to like manually power off

lmfao is there any other free thing i can use to scan

[wanton cliff]

No

Don’t use that software

Just have common sense

Don’t download bad files

Windows defender is fine on it’s own

[fossil halo]

bruh

then do u know what the hardware issue gould be?

[wanton cliff]

Does it just freeze or BSOD

@fossil halo

[languid cedar]

I just wanted to say thank you to all the people that helped me with putting my pc together i build it and it runs like a dream

[wanton cliff]

I don’t think I helped but you are welcome

On behalf of everyone that did

[muted patio]

If it's freezing applications, could be CPU, RAM couple different things.

If there are any overclocks, get rid of them ASAP

[fossil halo]

oh yea i had an overclock on my gpu

its off right now

but my temps seem fine

[wanton cliff]

Windows Forums says it could be a driver issue

[wanton cliff]

I was thinking GPU

[fossil halo]

oh yea

[wanton cliff]

What is loading on your GPU right now?

[fossil halo]

geforce experience told me a bit back

that there are some new drivers

didnt think it matters that much

i think im on the second to date drivers

[wanton cliff]

Hold on

What is loading on your GPU right now?

[fossil halo]

lemme see

some thing called lib mpv player

[wanton cliff]

Looks like it downloads with non-Unix based Windows

[fossil halo]

?

i think it could be

lively wallpaper

bc i have that running in the background

for animated wallpaper

[wanton cliff]

You mean the Wallpaper Engine?

[little osprey]

@fossil halo do u run windows from ssd or hdd ? not a good question but xd

[fossil halo]

ssd

ofc lmfao

[fossil halo]

its basically a free wallpaper engine

[wanton cliff]

Ok

[fossil halo]

lemme try

[wanton cliff]

Your drivers are up to date?

[fossil halo]

disabling it

[wanton cliff]

Hold on

[fossil halo]

like one or two versions behind

not too out of date

[wanton cliff]

Update them

See if that changes anything

90% of the time this happens because drivers are out of date

[fossil halo]

wait lemme try turning off lively

see if gpu usage decreases

yeppers

[little osprey]

or bad installation . sometimes ddu helps

[fossil halo]

went from 30-40% to 8&

its definitely lively

that is using my gpu

[wanton cliff]

More often out of date from my experience

[fossil halo]

but ill update my drivers too

im in class rn

might need a restart right

[little osprey]

yep

you should update it later

[wanton cliff]

Or go in class on a laptop or something if you can

[fossil halo]

nah thats ok

class ends in like 90 mins

i think thatll be fine

[muted patio]

If I had my suspicions, that wallpaper software is what's doing it

[wanton cliff]

Most likely

Wallpaper engine is much better

[fossil halo]

it money tho

i just want anime waifu dancing on desktop

smol ask

LMFAO

[wanton cliff]

And on the rare occasion it does accidentally create a massive load you can stop it through task manager

[wanton cliff]

And I want a computer that works

[fossil halo]

that is also trye

true

yea

like gpu usage went down a lot after i quite it

wuit*

quit*

and i mean

its a gt 710 LOL

zoom uses up like 15%

[wanton cliff]

Zoom is [EXPLETIVE DELETED]

[fossil halo]

fr tho

so is gt 710 tho

[wanton cliff]

My 4700u has better integrated graphics

[fossil halo]

LOL fr tho

im waiting for

3050ti

or 3060 non ti

[wanton cliff]

Oof spam

I wonder what it said

[fossil halo]

wow

didnt see it

[wanton cliff]

Don’t think there will be one. If leaks (courtesy of Asus) are to be trusted, the only other 3060 we are getting is a higher specced one called 3060 ULTRA

[fossil halo]

yea

that kinda let me down

so i think im looking for the 3050ti

almost guaranteed

[outer heart]

what cpu would pair well with a 1060 3gb

[wanton cliff]

Hmmm

2500?

I don’t usually mess with lower range stuff

What kind of money are you looking to spend?

[outer heart]

130?

not entirely sure

just bought it for 120

[fossil halo]

right now

ull get some old i5 maybe

prices are really stupid righe now

[wanton cliff]

For 130 a 3100 at MSRP might be nice

R3

[fossil halo]

imagine getting things at msrp

[wanton cliff]

Can’t relate

[little osprey]

[wanton cliff]

Kad, I have a question

Every time I see you you have changed your PFP

[little osprey]

ye?

[wanton cliff]

To what looks like the same character but in a different style

Are you a furry?

[little osprey]

not the same character
they are different and thats pretty obvious lol

[wanton cliff]

Doesn’t look like it

They all look similar if not the same

Maybe it’s the artstyle and lack of color

[little osprey]

well, it is the same art style

[wanton cliff]

What characters?

[little osprey]

most of them, i got them as a request from friend, long ago

[wanton cliff]

The way you say that makes it sound like said friend is dead

Shindei

[little osprey]

what

[wanton cliff]

Just the way you typed that

[little osprey]

he is not dead, i still talk with him to this day

ah

[wanton cliff]

Anyways, back to PC business

Computers computers, digital art, stock issues

[little osprey]

still awaiting for mine though

[wanton cliff]

Your what?

[verbal quarry]

Whats your guys thoughts on the rosewill prism case?

[outer heart]

would an i3 10100 or a ryzen 3 2200G be best for 1060

or 10100f

[wanton cliff]

Probably 10100f

Pretty popular CPU

[muted patio]

Definitely 10100

F or not, doesn't really matter since you're using a 1060 GPU

[little osprey]

my PC

[wanton cliff]

Ah

[muted patio]

F just means no onboard graphics

[wanton cliff]

Which means it’s cheaper right?

[little osprey]

should be

[wanton cliff]

If you are getting a 1060 don’t waste money on an iGPU

[muted patio]

I think so yeah

I mean

not gonna lie

iGPU is nice for troubleshooting sometimes

[outer heart]

then a cheap cooler

25/30

[little osprey]

just use the stock cooler

[wanton cliff]

If you are installing a Linux distro like Manjaro where you need a second GPU then go for a 10100 but otherwise I would save money with the 10100f

[fossil halo]

um

bad airflow

[wanton cliff]

Hyper 212 black edition

[fossil halo]

overpriced

from a non reputable brand

[wanton cliff]

Go for P400

Good case

Good airflow

Etc

Excellent cable management

[fossil halo]

i mean for matx the dlm 21 mesh is fire

i have it it looks clean asf and has amazing airflow

[wanton cliff]

Full ATX the P400 is my favorite

[fossil halo]

i actually want to make a mitx build so bad

[wanton cliff]

How small is mATX? Never built one.

[outer heart]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/RfBhP6/msi-mag-b460-torpedo-atx-lga1200-motherboard-mag-b460-torpedo

[fossil halo]

idk lmao never built atx

[wanton cliff]

Idk anything about LGA boards

Can’t help you there

[fossil halo]

ew lga board

[wanton cliff]

They going 10100f

[fossil halo]

ew intel

lmfao

jkjk

[wanton cliff]

Because Ryzen is overpriced at their budget rn

[fossil halo]

intel is honestly better rn for budget builds

[wanton cliff]

Yeah

Ryzen is good when the market hasn’t crashed because of scalpers

[outer heart]

what speed memory

[fossil halo]

yea

for intel

[outer heart]

2666 or 3000+

[fossil halo]

slow memory is fine

[wanton cliff]

Intel can’t control higher speeds

[fossil halo]

imagine ggetting 3600 mhz ram with intel lmfao

i saw some dudes build

[wanton cliff]

So nothing above 3000mhz is going to work correctly

[fossil halo]

i thin z490 or z390 can use 3200

[wanton cliff]

11th Gen is supposedly going to have a better memory controller for 3200mhz

[fossil halo]

oh yea maybe

[wanton cliff]

The mobos may be able to but the CPUs themselves can’t

[muted patio]

Yeah

mobo can definitely utilize it

[wanton cliff]

It can?

[fossil halo]

oh

nzxt needs to make b550 or x570

no one buys their damn z490

[muted patio]

wat

[wanton cliff]

NZXT needs to make products that aren’t overpriced as [EXPLETIVE DELETED]

[muted patio]

NZXT doesn't make boards do they?

[fossil halo]

looks like an absolute sexy beast

[wanton cliff]

I didn’t think so either

About them making boards

[fossil halo]

they make a super mega ultra premium z490

looks so so so so so clean omg

[muted patio]

Holy

they do

[fossil halo]

literally the best thing ever

[muted patio]

No thanks

[fossil halo]

for a all white build

[muted patio]

Covers keep heat in

Heat bad

[wanton cliff]

NZXT Z370 apparently

[fossil halo]

z490 chipset tho

[muted patio]

WTF is with NZXT and bad airflow on everything????

[fossil halo]

i mean

[wanton cliff]

Ikr

[fossil halo]

bad airflow=good looks

most of the time

[wanton cliff]

Looks or airflow. Your choice

[fossil halo]

yea

[muted patio]

NZXT, All looks, no flow

[wanton cliff]

P400 and Meshify C find a nice balance

[fossil halo]

like if ur going to be running 4 3090's and dual xeons maybe might have an issue with airflow

[glacial umbra]

so a bit of a weird issue

[outer heart]

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/JvbwrH/gskill-aegis-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr4-2666-memory-f4-2666c19d-16gis

that would work fine right

[glacial umbra]

my graphics card is making a kinda of beeeeeep noise

[fossil halo]

wow

[wanton cliff]

Yeah

[glacial umbra]

i stopped all the fans and it continued

[fossil halo]

my table is kinda unstable so when my fans go brrrrrrrrrr the table vibrates

[wanton cliff]

Kind of expensive ngl

I would just find an alright 3200mhz kit

G.Skill ripjaws is nice

[glacial umbra]

fans stop, weird beeping continues

very annoying sound

[wanton cliff]

Any mobo indicator lights?

[fossil halo]

if you have a problem, drivers will fix em

[glacial umbra]

no, no actual issues just a very annoying sound

[fossil halo]

lmfao jkjk

[fossil halo]

try reseating it maybe

[muted patio]

That's called Coil Whine

[wanton cliff]

Oof

[muted patio]

That's a symptom of a poor PSU

[wanton cliff]

Coil whine bad

[fossil halo]

oooooooooof

[little osprey]

Is there a way to find out what Motherboard you have? without having to take it aport

[fossil halo]

can you get coil whine on a gt710

[little osprey]

I already know mine i gotta know what my friends motherboard is

[wanton cliff]

PSU is the one thing you should always overpay on if you can

[fossil halo]

i mean if its any type of modern one

kinda obv which brand it is

or i think boot into bois

bios*

[little osprey]

True

[fossil halo]

should show

[wanton cliff]

Yeah bios should say

[little osprey]

I haven't asked the guy to do that yet

[little osprey]

but not so much
and reseaching on it is awlays good

[muted patio]

@glacial umbra like this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rMUI65rFcE

[fossil halo]

i have some b550m ds3h

[little osprey]

Alright, thanks

I have a ASRock B550 Taichi

[wanton cliff]

Bad RGB, good board, right?

You’ve told us multiple times

[fossil halo]

basically sums it up

[glacial umbra]

its not that loud

[fossil halo]

but

also

[muted patio]

But that sound yeah?

[wanton cliff]

Also?

[fossil halo]

literally only one usb 1.0

[little osprey]

AHG

AHAH

sorry

just

[glacial umbra]

yeah let me record it

[fossil halo]

which is annoying if u want to have more than one thing in ur case

[little osprey]

Jesus

[fossil halo]

and the fan headers are in weird places

[little osprey]

I'm gonna uhh

[wanton cliff]

I have a TUF X570 I just installed yesterday

[little osprey]

start a gofundme page for you

[wanton cliff]

Removed my windows 10 license for some reason

[fossil halo]

yea

[muted patio]

OH

New motherboard install

[fossil halo]

new mobo it recognizes as new machine

[muted patio]

Just reactivate

[wanton cliff]

I did already

[muted patio]

HWID changed

That's why

[fossil halo]

lmao i havent activated

watermark 😎

[wanton cliff]

Went through troubleshooter and it said ‘I installed new hardware’ so I clicked that

Fixed it

[muted patio]

Yup

[fossil halo]

i have watermark

but its on random boots

so rn its not even there

[wanton cliff]

Odd

You can disable the watermark in the Registry Editor

[glacial umbra]

well

[fossil halo]

meh whatever im done doing weird stuff with my computer that an average user wouldnt do

[glacial umbra]

i guess i cant get it on video

[fossil halo]

last time i did that i got a virus

im a stupid boy

[little osprey]

At this point i don't know what you people are talking about but I'm assuming about Windows 10

Don't you have a reactivated key?

[wanton cliff]

Registry Editor is a windows tool

[fossil halo]

LOL basically

[little osprey]

or something

[fossil halo]

k then toubleshooting lady

help me

disable le watermark ma'am

[little osprey]

I actually have my windows 10 disk still in my PC

[fossil halo]

lmao like actually that would be very helpful

[wanton cliff]

Just look up how on le interwebs lol

Really easy actually

[fossil halo]

INTERWEBS LMFAO

whaterver

ill do it after class

after i do driver update

[wanton cliff]

Also when my windows wasn’t activated for a few minutes my computer was still in dark mode and I had my old wallpaper. It didn’t change that for some reason.

[fossil halo]

english class boring f

af

[fossil halo]

yea yea its weird that way

like on my old laptop i had my taskbar on the right of the screen

[wanton cliff]

https://zcom.tech/remove-activate-windows-10-watermark.html/

[fossil halo]

now its that way here too

and i had this jojo's slideshow

as wallpaper

but now i disabled that

[wanton cliff]

I’m listening to JoJo right now lol

[glacial umbra]

just buy a 5 dollar key off ebay or something lol

[fossil halo]

which song

[fossil halo]

sus

[glacial umbra]

worked for me

[glacial umbra]

[fossil halo]

and i dont have 5 more dollars 😂

[glacial umbra]

oh

[fossil halo]

ayy

[glacial umbra]

coil whine is gone

after i closed the game that was running

[muted patio]

no GPU load then?

Yeah

[glacial umbra]

yeah so

[muted patio]

It happens under load

[glacial umbra]

it is coil whine

[muted patio]

Ye

[glacial umbra]

thats no fun

[wanton cliff]

Unfortunate

[glacial umbra]

and its annoying as hell

[wanton cliff]

Also vintage

[fossil halo]

https://tenor.com/view/jojos-bizarre-adventure-drinks-tea-sip-gif-14649362

[muted patio]

The 10 series is NOTORIOUS for it

It's a thing

[glacial umbra]

ah that sucks

[wanton cliff]

You remember when my monitor went pink?

[fossil halo]

wow

[glacial umbra]

does it go away after awhile or anything?

[muted patio]

Yes

[fossil halo]

i want a rtx 3050ti please

[muted patio]

No, it's just a thing with them

[fossil halo]

delivered to my front door

[glacial umbra]

:(

[fossil halo]

founders edition please

[muted patio]

Sometimes a better PSU helps it go away

but not always

what about pink

[wanton cliff]

Vintage, you remember when my monitor went pink?

It happened again on one of my other 2 monitors

[fossil halo]

my monitor goes grey when i speed overclock my gt 710

[glacial umbra]

thats gonna be annoying as hell but atleast its only during games

[wanton cliff]

So I think it has something to do with the GPU itself

[glacial umbra]

ill usually have headphones on during games

[little osprey]

You know, When i built my PC, i actually scrapped my old PSU from a pre built and i don't know how much it can take

So

[muted patio]

Yep

[little osprey]

Luckily nothing has exploded

[fossil halo]

i was going to do that but then i thought

hmm

[muted patio]

Color changing monitors is typically VRAM

[little osprey]

You could

[wanton cliff]

That’s what I’ve been told

[little osprey]

I did it for my RAM

[fossil halo]

how about i dont build a time bomb

[wanton cliff]

Overheating and such

[muted patio]

Yes

[wanton cliff]

I don’t keep it under load for too often tho

[glacial umbra]

a bit weird

[wanton cliff]

A few hours under load for a gaming sesh at most and then it’s off for the rest of the day

[glacial umbra]

I'm running msi kombustor but

no coil whine thingy?

[little osprey]

Honestly i suggest just replacing your PSU depending on what you got, and just make sure your motherboard and cpu work

[wanton cliff]

And I don’t do sessions for longer than 5 hours

[little osprey]

the GPU can be fine for a bit, same with RAM

I'm no expert to be honest but i waited till i replaced my 8GB of RAM

[wanton cliff]

Reminds me of my grandpa getting me a Christmas present

He said ‘here you go, I got a really good deal on this’

And he showed me a kit of 128mb ram from Crucial

[little osprey]

oh

[fossil halo]

LMFAO

[wanton cliff]

It’s the thought that counts

[fossil halo]

ofc

[little osprey]

yes

keep it

so when he asks

you have it

[wanton cliff]

You best bet I will

[little osprey]

Frame it

[fossil halo]

titanmaster

[wanton cliff]

Again I shall

[fossil halo]

wow

[wanton cliff]

Nani?

Don’t see my linked accounts

Weirdo

[outer heart]

final list

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fjB9y4

[fossil halo]

LOLi mean i j clicked on the profile and u got the whole ass internet linked there

i

just

want

420 fps on fortnite

[little osprey]

no

[fossil halo]

so i can crank 90s like ninja

[little osprey]

jeeesus

[fossil halo]

and get victory royales

[little osprey]

jeeeeeesu

s

[fossil halo]

https://tenor.com/view/victory-royale-dance-nerd-gif-13257243

thats me

wait why am i on the internet

wth

[wanton cliff]

A few things

1: you are overpaying for your RAM. I would get a 3200mhz kit for when you upgrade to 11th Gen eventually

2: get a PSU from a more reputable company

3: get an actual cooler. Intel stock coolers are [EXPLETIVE DELETED]. I recommend a hyper 212 Black Edition

[fossil halo]

||totally not capping||

[little osprey]

the kid in the tank top doesn't wanna be there

[earnest olive]

2666C19 for $68

[fossil halo]

case kinda bruh too

[earnest olive]

screams

[wanton cliff]

Case is indeed bruh

[little osprey]

I used my CPU cooler that came with my CPU

[wanton cliff]

Forgot to mention that

[outer heart]

it’s for a friend

[little osprey]

I've seen memes about it

[earnest olive]

intel stock cooler does a perfectly fine job on an i3

[wanton cliff]

Phanteks P300

[outer heart]

he will not be upgrading

[earnest olive]

it's cool and quiet

[fossil halo]

tru

[earnest olive]

only problem is it's ugly

[fossil halo]

yea

[earnest olive]

also

[fossil halo]

looks like ass tho

[wanton cliff]

If that’s true then fine

[fossil halo]

amd cooler gang

[earnest olive]

i've found ID-COOLING SE-224-XT to be a far superior product to the 212 at the same price

having owned both

[fossil halo]

who would have imagined that stock coolers could actually look nice

[wanton cliff]

I just installed my Wraith Prism last night and it looks soooooo much better than the 212 I had

[fossil halo]

OMG FR

wraith prism is soooooo nice

[wanton cliff]

Especially with the RGB

[earnest olive]

buying a 3gb 1060 in 2021 is a really terrible idea

[fossil halo]

ikr

BUT

[wanton cliff]

They didn’t have to spend extra on the RGB but they did and it looks amazing

[earnest olive]

my 1060 6gb was starting to see vram maxed out in modern titles at 1080p

[wanton cliff]

How

[glacial umbra]

so

[viral rover]

anyone know what the cheapest VR PC is?

[earnest olive]

valhalla xd

[wanton cliff]

Something wrong with your 1060 lol

[fossil halo]

MY MOTHERBOARD ONLY HAS ONE USB 1.0 PORT WHICH I HAVE TO USE FOR FRONT PANEL SO I CANT CONTROL ALL THE RGB ZONES REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GIGABYTE WTOP HIRING 5 YEAR OLDS TO MAKE YOUR MOTHER BOARDS

[earnest olive]

valhalla takes 6.1gb at 1080p ultra

[glacial umbra]

the coil whine thingy only happen when I run a game that doesn't use 100%, like a small indie games

[fossil halo]

weird

[glacial umbra]

yeah very

[wanton cliff]

You can make a pc with a 1060 that can do gaming on a WMR headset

[glacial umbra]

I run kombustor and cyberpunk and it's not there

[earnest olive]

but yeah 3gb is only enough for 1080p lowest or maybe 900p/720p if you're playing modern games

[fossil halo]

cyberDONK

[earnest olive]

older games maybe ok

[glacial umbra]

but if I play people playground or game dev tycoon

it's there

very weird

[earnest olive]

would not buy a 1060 3gb in 2021

[wanton cliff]

Even 8gb isn’t enough for some modern titles

[fossil halo]

yea

[earnest olive]

4gb is still usable 3gb is not

[fossil halo]

get

a

rx 570 if ur really that broke

[earnest olive]

ehh

[fossil halo]

very good budget card

[wanton cliff]

570 or 580 are both good

[earnest olive]

8gb is enough for everything at 1080p

at 1440p maybe not

[fossil halo]

ofc it costs like 100$ lmao

[wanton cliff]

8gb is plenty for 1440p

And it’s a 570 so you aren’t going to be playing at Max settings

[earnest olive]

i think i saw my vram usage go above 8gb on my 3080 at 1440p

[wanton cliff]

What game?

[fossil halo]

wow

[earnest olive]

cold war

[fossil halo]

cyberdonk?

[earnest olive]

might be remembering wrong though

[fossil halo]

oh

[earnest olive]

so im gonna check

[wanton cliff]

Well that’s Cold War

That’s a whole different can of worms

[fossil halo]

damn 3080 quick flex right there

[earnest olive]

and yeah you wouldnt be playing 1440p ultra on an 8gb rx 570

but

8gb in general

[wanton cliff]

I have a 5700xt

8gb is enough for me in 99% of games in 1440p ultra

Only some select new AAA games exceed that, like Cyberdonk and Cold War

[fossil halo]

cyberdonk is bruhg

[wanton cliff]

Gotta play at low settings lol

[earnest olive]

yeah but thats still not all games, and in 2-3 years it's only going to get worse

[cursive wharf]

made sure that it was actual usage? MSI afterburner still needs to be attached to a process and have the setting enabled for that

[earnest olive]

most people do not build a pc to last 3 months

[fossil halo]

lmao i have gt710

boom boom pow pow

2gb vram

😎

[earnest olive]

rivatuner readout?

[fossil halo]

i get 6.9 fps at low 720p on most games 😎

[cursive wharf]

Im on a 1060 3gb with dual UW-QHD displays. My VRAM is heck, I want my 3080

[viral rover]

How much would that roughly cost?

[wanton cliff]

Rivatuner is nice for playing Creation Engine games where movement speed is tied to FPS

[earnest olive]

i saw a gt 710 benchmark of cyberpunk

ive never seen a guy so excited to hit 0 fps before

[wanton cliff]

Depends on what you get

What’s your budget?

[earnest olive]

it was running at 1 fps but it dipped to 0 and he was screaming

[fossil halo]

zwormz gaming?

[stoic island]

lol

[fossil halo]

that guy is amazing

[cursive wharf]

somewhat, it needs to be setup correctly still. I never did it before but it's best messing with a couple settings iirc

[fossil halo]

literal daddy for benchmarks

[earnest olive]

9gb vram usage according to rivatuner

[fossil halo]

how much vram does 3080 have

[earnest olive]

9.5

10

[viral rover]

Like my budget would probably be like 1500 but lower is better.

[fossil halo]

LMFAO

[wanton cliff]

10gb GDDR6X

[earnest olive]

so yeah im already hitting 9.5/10gb usage at 1440p in a game today

[fossil halo]

u can build a 3080 build with that much

1500

[earnest olive]

im hoping to keep this 3080 for 2 years before upgrade

[wanton cliff]

That’s not a cheap build broh

[fossil halo]

im hoping to ditch this gt 710 in the next two weeks

[wanton cliff]

That’s about how much my Pc costs and it runs VR just fine

[fossil halo]

yea lmfao

my build is like 700

[viral rover]

yeah like including a monitor a keyboard and a mouse.

[fossil halo]

bc of r7 3700x and gt 710

[wanton cliff]

Even still

[fossil halo]

yea

still

thats a lot

perps get done in 300$

maybe a bit more

[earnest olive]

i was running with a 1060 for 5 months because i refused to pay a scalper

[fossil halo]

thats like top of the line thing

[wanton cliff]

Hold on

[earnest olive]

only games i could run at 1440p were league and genshin

[wanton cliff]

Stay in this chat. Imma put together a list for you real quick

[viral rover]

Ok ping me.

[cursive wharf]

I'd take a guess that's allocation

make sure to have both enabled so you can really see that

[muted patio]

Yeah

Most likely allocation and not actual useage

[earnest olive]

OSD only shows an option for usage

i don't see an option for allocation

[cursive wharf]

I thought it would've been in release by now, maybe still beta?

was beta like few months ago

[earnest olive]

im using the latest non-beta

4.6.2

[fossil halo]

wow

[wanton cliff]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8q9Bxc

A bit over budget

Tell me if you want it edited to be cheaper

[fossil halo]

LMAO

THIS CHAD

[viral rover]

LOL

[fossil halo]

S F F

[wanton cliff]

I’ve seen that picture lmao

[fossil halo]

s m o l f o r m f a c t o r

[wanton cliff]

puts a 1660 in an optiplex

“Oops. The card won’t fit”

saws off a chunk of the side plate

[turbid blade]

b i g b r a i n

[little osprey]

to be honest
a 1660 won't be able to run on a SFF lol

because the PSU

[fossil halo]

wdym

[wanton cliff]

Some Optiplexes have impressive PSUs

Some

[fossil halo]

ppl run literal 3080s in sffs

[little osprey]

some yeah
but most won't be able to.handle a 1660

[wanton cliff]

That [EXPLETIVE DELETED] is cursed

[fossil halo]

LMFAO

[viral rover]

yes

Can someone help me out im tryna make the water bottle pc

my budget is 50 dollars

[wanton cliff]

Nah fam

That’s cursed

[viral rover]

ok fine then ill buy a completely maxed out pc but build it outside of a case

[wanton cliff]

I live in Chicago and someone from Waterloo just called me lmao

I don’t even know anyone in Waterloo

[muted patio]

Arduino

Water bottle PC

[glacial umbra]

vintage

i guess its good news

but it wasn't coil whine

[wanton cliff]

What was it?

[viral rover]

anyone know of a way to build a pc outside of a case

[glacial umbra]

it was my headphones

[muted patio]

LOL

[viral rover]

Like technically cant I just attach everything not in the case and it would work

[wanton cliff]

Get a test bench motherboard

[glacial umbra]

so they were chilling on my neck that whole time

[small osprey]

...

[glacial umbra]

and i thought the same was coming from the pc

[viral rover]

no not a test bench

test bench too expensive

[muted patio]

with something playing amirite?

[glacial umbra]

yeah

my headphones are broken though

[wanton cliff]

You can turn on test bench motherboards without a power button from a case. That’s what you are looking for

[glacial umbra]

but i'd rather broken headphones than coil whine, they're cheap and old headphones anyway

[muted patio]

Indeed

[glacial umbra]

wait

[viral rover]

no ill just hook up a doorbell to it so I can use the power button

[glacial umbra]

ok no nevermind its both

[small osprey]

F

[wanton cliff]

That’s not how math works

[viral rover]

doorbell button*

[wanton cliff]

Anyways

[viral rover]

no

[wanton cliff]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8q9Bxc

I made this for you

[viral rover]

wireless doorbell

[wanton cliff]

It’s a bit over budget but I can bring it down a bit

[glacial umbra]

maybe its my overclock?

[wanton cliff]

What do you have it OCed to?

[muted patio]

It's not your overclock

[glacial umbra]

oh nevermind

[muted patio]

The 1000 series from nVidia had coil whine

It's a thing

[glacial umbra]

my overclock wasn't set up

i put the overclock on and it got worse

[muted patio]

Yes, more power draw = more noise

[viral rover]

yeah if you could bring it down a little bit that would be nice

[glacial umbra]

can i undervolt it?

or does undervolting not do anything

[muted patio]

The only real fix is a high quality PSU or a card RMA

Leter revisions used different coils and the issue kinda stopped

[wanton cliff]

Focus Plus Gold anyone?

[muted patio]

or phantks amp

[glacial umbra]

ah

this sucks

bad 1070 ti, bad

[wanton cliff]

I’ve never used a Phanteks PSU

How good are they?

[fossil halo]

Yo

[small osprey]

Top tier

[glacial umbra]

i undervolted my card

[fossil halo]

Is it good to do a clean install of drivers every time

[small osprey]

750w 80+ gold modular for $110

[wanton cliff]

That’s nice

[glacial umbra]

its a lot quieter but i dont wanna cost performance

[wanton cliff]

How are their 850w units?

[glacial umbra]

this sucks man

[fossil halo]

Trou leshooting ma'am pls

[muted patio]

Phanteks amp is Tier A

Very good PSU

[wanton cliff]

Gonna cost you half an hour every time you want to go on your computer but you can if you want I suppose

[wanton cliff]

Should I get one of their 850w units for my 3080, once I eventually get it?

[fossil halo]

really

[small osprey]

Probably

[fossil halo]

nvidia did it for me in like 5 minutes lmfao

like for my gt 710

[small osprey]

Focus gx also good

[muted patio]

FOcus gold is also Tier A

So your choice

[fossil halo]

i have some seasonic non modualr thing

sadge

[wanton cliff]

But Phanteks case with Phanteks PSU

[fossil halo]

s12iii

[wanton cliff]

Ok so a group I listened to changed their name and it’s really annoying to me

[muted patio]

S12III oof

[wanton cliff]

Because they had this one song which had a funny name because of it

The song was called Ark, the group was called Shipwreck and the Zookeepers

So it was like a play on Noah’s Ark

But now they are called Starparty and it’s really annoying

[glacial umbra]

ok so vsync basically got rid of coil whine

[wanton cliff]

Dang really?

Never expected that tbh

[muted patio]

Well yeah, it's only running at 60 FPS now

Less GPU load

[wanton cliff]

Well yeah

[fossil halo]

s12III is pretty good for the price

[wanton cliff]

That makes sense I suppose

[muted patio]

NOt really

[glacial umbra]

I'm fine with that

[viral rover]

Guys I'm not sure if I should buy an electric screwdriver for my builds or an impact drill or a normal drill? any suggestions?||

[glacial umbra]

why spoilers?

[fossil halo]

i got like 650w i think with bronze eficiency

[muted patio]

S12III is a tier D power supply

spoopy

[viral rover]

guys impact drill or normal drill?

[glacial umbra]

coil whine is gone and now I can finally relax

[fossil halo]

bruh

[wanton cliff]

But now you are at 60fps low

[viral rover]

for pc building

[muted patio]

Coil whine isn't hurting anything

It's just sound

[fossil halo]

i mean I would have liked a modular

[wanton cliff]

Why would you need a drill for a PC?

[glacial umbra]

I know but God damn is it annoying

60fps on a 60hz monitor

[viral rover]

to screw in the screws

because im lazy

[wanton cliff]

Just use a screwdriver lol

A drill will do nothing but hurt your pc

[viral rover]

What if I need to drill a hole in my motherboard?

[wanton cliff]

You won’t

Please never do that

[viral rover]

to make it mount tot he bracket?

[wanton cliff]

No lol

[viral rover]

mount to the*

[wanton cliff]

The holes already there

[viral rover]

My friend did it and he said it worked

[glacial umbra]

no no, you need to go on a date with your motherboard and get to know it better

and then it'll warm up to you and show you all it's holes ;)

[wanton cliff]

Please never put a power tool near a PC

[viral rover]

he also said that if your GPU doesnt fit that there are guides on reddit on how to cut off the non essential components to make it fit

[fossil halo]

sus

[obtuse fog]

Will this gpu work with a asus prime z490-p

[glacial umbra]

yeah gpus are motherboard bound

aren't

[wanton cliff]

please never take your friend's advice

[viral rover]

He works at the genius bar at apple so I thought his advice would be good.

[wanton cliff]

oh god

how did he get his job

[viral rover]

idk tbh

they just send all their problems to an apple service center anyway

[wanton cliff]

There are a lot of things you need to screw into a motherboard

Mostly to hold it down

They are very tiny and small

Please do not use a power tool on them

I beg you

Especially if it’s a TRX40 board

Or whatever Xeon uses

[viral rover]

ok

[wanton cliff]

It will kill the entire board

[fossil halo]

Lmao apple

[wanton cliff]

Apple has like, 2 engineers who never even completed high school

[gleaming quartz]

who would use a power tool for mounting stuff?

[wanton cliff]

@viral rover apparently

[fossil halo]

Lmao macs are funny joke

Except m1

But ryzen still claps m1

But then m1 is their first chip

[wanton cliff]

First desktop chip*

Don’t forget about A-series Bionic processors

A14 do be pretty sexy doh

First 5nm CPU

I’m DMing you all using one right now actually

[fossil halo]

Wow

I have some Qualcomm snapdragon idk which one

[wanton cliff]

7nm at best

And it used something like x86 rather than ARM, which is a lot more power efficient for some reason

Say what you will about Apple, their phones are really well made

[fossil halo]

Snapdragon 855

[fossil halo]

Tru

[wanton cliff]

Don’t remember the size of the process node for that one

[fossil halo]

Insode*

[wanton cliff]

Here is an example: iPhone 12 has 2815mAh battery

ROG Phone 3 (snapdragon 865+) has 6000mAh battery (more than twice the size)

[valid dust]

anyone know if there are any waterblocks for a 3070 fe?

[wanton cliff]

They both have the same battery life

[fossil halo]

Tru

[wanton cliff]

I’m pretty sure Asus makes some pre-attached

[fossil halo]

ios is really optimized too

Like apples phones have like no ram and they do fine multitasking

[wanton cliff]

They really do

Iphone 12 has 4 gigs

ROG phone 3 has 16

[fossil halo]

LOL ikr

Yea

Mine has 6 or 8

I have the s10e

I like rhe small screen size

[wanton cliff]

Android (based off of Linux) and iOS are both really optimized but iOS more so I think

[fossil halo]

Bruh I just burnt a pita bread

[wanton cliff]

I just burnt a pizza

[fossil halo]

Wow

We are together in burning

Food

[wanton cliff]

I’m waiting for someone to photoshop Peta Melarkey onto Pita Bread

[fossil halo]

LMAO

Imagine if pita bread wasn't vegetarian

That would be funny

Peta eats pita bread

[wanton cliff]

Peta eats pita bread while being watched by PETA

[fossil halo]

LOL

Pitas hummus and falafel are fire

[wanton cliff]

Anyways imma watch the new episode of Re:Zero now. Ping me when someone needs help with something so I can prove my worth an eventually become a techie.

[fossil halo]

Wow

Ok

I'm not a techie nor do I deserve to be one

[stoic island]

@wanton cliff re zero organization is just weird now, season 2 part 2

[wanton cliff]

I’m watching Straight Bet right now

Episode 39

[stoic island]

Dunno what I want to watch next tbh

[wanton cliff]

That’s the beginning of season 2 part 2 right?

[stoic island]

Don't remeber what it's called

[wanton cliff]

Where he makes a bet with Roswaal?

[stoic island]

Yes

Greedy

[wanton cliff]

And Octavio throws him to the floor at the beginning of it?

[stoic island]

Yea

[wanton cliff]

Alright nice

Thanks

[viral rover]

everything else but ios devices can be made by anyone else

like iphones and apple watches are the only thing nobody can say are bad

[stoic island]

..?

wat

[noble night]

i jiust started my pc for the first time and im in the aorus bios what do i do?

i need to make a fan turn the other way as well

[stoic island]

physically turn the fan around

can't really make it spin backwards

[noble night]

wtf

then it will look ugly

[wanton cliff]

Remove your name and then I will help you

[verbal quarry]

Do you guys think there is sag issues with the 3060ti

[rich helm]

depends on the moddel

model

[verbal quarry]

Nvidia

[rich helm]

FE?

[verbal quarry]

Yea

[rich helm]

from what ive seen people have not said anything about any of the founder editions sagging

and the 3060ti is the smallest one yet

so it will sag the least

[verbal quarry]

I just wanted to make sure

[rich helm]

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/jlxajr/does_the_3070_fe_sag/

[verbal quarry]

The case im getting has a little think to help with sag

[rich helm]

i know its 3070 but their similar

yeah probably not needed but it wont ever hurt

[verbal quarry]

I'll be a little cautious about it

[still roost]

So do the psu screws

There should be a little cardboard box in ur case with a bunch of screws inside

[icy quail]

friend is building a PC and he says the motherboard standoffs in the case arent aligned to the motherboard itself.
This is the motherboard and case hes using

Hm maybe ask ur friend for a pic of the standoffs in the case and then a pic of the motherboard @icy quail

[short ruin]

thanks for the help earlier @stoic island @small osprey

[small osprey]

No problem

Is everything working fine now?

[short ruin]

yep

[small osprey]

Nice

Might wanna redo that

[short ruin]

i forced it

GOD I MEAN FIXED

don’t worry it looks much nicer

[small osprey]

Ah ok

Was worried about that forced lol

[short ruin]

lol

[verbal quarry]

Nice build

You got the gpu yet?
